Had a roo with the same temperament. Could not go into cage with out a piece of pvc pipe he'd attack I'd whack. He'd lay down and be nice I would feed then leave. Next feeding same procedure this went on till I got some chicks from him as I did like him. His offspring Roos would let me pet them. Oh and the one time he spurred me on the back I also squeezed his neck till eyes rolled. Probably should have done him in after the first attack.

Mine tried that a few times, but he was sneaky about it; til I saw him just in time once & drop kicked his butt about 3' through the air...no more problem...gives me plenty of room now

Did that with bubbles.... Now he scoots his sorry behind away if I tell him!

Last we heard he was off to the engineer's house to have him fasten the fan to the lid, after the guy came over & wired it for
him

That was 4-5 hrs ago

It seems like most people would do just what I have already done (just short of eating him) I will look into the blinkers/blinders/peepers? I like that idea.
Thanks much!

Would tying him up like they do the fighting rooster work. Just thinking out loud here. Couldn't reach you that way. I've been a pen pal with a guy from Texas his breeding pen was set like a wheel with the rooster in the center and hens on the outside around him. The hens would be changed every few days to keep him from wearing any one of them out. The rooster would be contained that way not as accessible to you.

Who was it, a while back, that had a hen perched on her shoulder 'til she got pecked in the eye?
